Names that end in -tine?

Hey berries!

I really adore the names [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. I think they are adorable. Though I’m not sure I could give either a boy or a girl these names as a first name (possibly a middle). I’m not sure why. I think it’s because I’m not fond of the nickname possibilities - [name_u]Val[/name_u] and [name_u]Clem[/name_u].

So, I’d love to hear some other names that end in “-tine.”

I appreciate the sharing :slight_smile:

If it’s just the NNs that are turning you off, you have many other options! For [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] you could use [name_f]Clea[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], [name_f]Minta[/name_f]/[name_f]Minty[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Mina[/name_f], [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Tina[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f]/[name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f], [name_u]Lennie[/name_u]/[name_m]Lenny[/name_m], [name_u]Mel[/name_u]/[name_f]Mellie[/name_f]/[name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Mena[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f] or [name_f]Nina[/name_f]. For [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] you could use [name_f]Tia[/name_f], [name_f]Tina[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_f]Lina[/name_f]/[name_f]Lena[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Nina[/name_f], [name_m]Lenny[/name_m]/[name_u]Lennie[/name_u], [name_f]Viv[/name_f]/[name_f]Vivi[/name_f], [name_u]Lonnie[/name_u], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f], [name_u]Vale[/name_u], [name_f]Veda[/name_f], Vee or [name_f]Vana[/name_f]/[name_f]Vanna[/name_f]/Vani/[name_u]Vanni[/name_u].

Other options:

[name_f]Christine[/name_f]
[name_u]Constantine[/name_u]
Fontine
[name_u]Florentine[/name_u]

[name_f]Satine[/name_f]
Ovaltine? Haha just kidding on that one!

Yes, the nicknames are definitely what turn me off. Though some of these nickname options you mentioned are more likable for me, I still am not the biggest fan. I think it’s because what draws me to the name is the “-tine” ending and if they go by a nickname, then it kind of takes away what I love about the name most. But I understand that with any name could come with a nickname and ultimately it would be the child’s choice! :slight_smile:

[name_u]Constantine[/name_u] is sweet.

Oh and Ovaltine is totally usable :wink: Haha

Boys:
[name_m]Augustine[/name_m]

[name_f]Katine[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] and think [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is a great nickname if you’re not a fan of [name_u]Clem[/name_u].

[name_f]Bettine[/name_f]
